She still didn't sell us out as much as Nixon did.

I’ll save up a bucket full.

Nice and fragrant.

From radio pioneer Barry Gray's book "My Night People" in 1975.

I kind of liked Steelyard Blues, at least when I first saw it in the 70s. Peter Boyle was a lot better in it than Donald Sutherland, though. Jane Fonda contributed nothing to that movie.

May have been bad but John F’n Kerry was infinitely worse

Kelly’s Heroes. Another nutcase portrayal of an American GI by a canadian.

This is ALL they can find to write about in 2023??

NR would do better by taking pre-reservations to go piss on her grave, she won’t be around that much longer.

This doesn’t scratch the surface on her responsibilities for G.I. deaths.

“They didn’t change, those were different people.”

The true believers in the lifestyle did not change; you are right. However, some of them DID go over to the Dark Side, and ceased to be true believers.

The true believers were very much apolitical.

>Donald Sutherland’s favorite roles were always maniacal US military officers. That’s just my observation.

Kelly’s Heroes comes to mind.

It's amazing to see how little the average Freeper knows about our history and specifically, the history of the pro-enemy Left during the war in Vietnam.

1. The Anti Vietnam War movement was a creation of the Communist Party USA as a modification to the Ban the Bomb movement of the late '50s - early '60s. They even used the same symbol - the "Ban the Bomb" symbol morphed into the "Peace Symbol" without any changes.

2.The principal structure and organization of the Anti Vietnam War movement was based on two major umbrella organizations: the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ) and the Socialist Worker's Party National Mobilization for Peace, later, the New Mobe. The PCPJ had the National Welfare Rights Organization, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and various Unions and several student associations within their overarching groups and at the top, both openly serving and covert Communist Party members (Irving Sarnoff, Dorothy Healey, Bettina Aptheker, for example). The New Mobe was more allied with the Socialist Worker's Party and neither group shared any activities with each other.

3. The PCPJ and the New Mobe had continuous communications with Hanoi and Moscow and to a degree, Beijing throughout the war. The massive demonstrations they sponsored were scheduled in conjunction with the enemy for timing, thrust (theme), and size.

4. The demonstrations were filled with the usual useful idiots who really just wanted to keep themselves out of the war or people they knew -or just have a good time thumbing their noses at authority.

It was never about peace.

Jane Fonda knew exactly what she was doing (as did Donald Sutherland and Bejamin Spock and all the other Leftist celebrities) and she was a leader within the PCPJ throughout our war.

Odd, but I just saw him tonight on Prime in a 2012 movie, “Assassin’s Bullet”, with Christian Slater as the hero.

Had no idea he was a commie.

Donald Sutherland is Canadian, but still a commie.

I hate Jane Fonda in a way I have very rarely hated anyone else. She most emphatically should have been executed for treason. In an earlier time, she would have been. She’s 85 years old now. I’m 76. With any luck, I’ll be one who pisses on her grave. Metaphorically if I can’t do it physically.

Every REAL American should make it a Life Mission to piss on a communist’s grave at least once in life.
